This is all I can give you at this time. Got to admit this was a big surprize to me but it does feel good. This is the only picture I have of the knife that won and I'm sure some have already seen it. Its the larger of the two. The smaller one has a good home now.

Hey, thanks for the pats on the back! I figured if I put enough knives in the different catagories I might win something but it was still a shock. I thought someone had run off with the knife that won since I didn't look in the display case for the winners. Really didn't think mine would end up in there.

Jon, Congratulations to you for winning the Best Damascus. You do some awsome work!

Gene, I was at Wayne's for most of yesterday. He was showing off his newest anvil when he grabbed his trailer hitch hardy tool I thought of you and told him you said Hi. He sure thinks alot of you....

Ray,

Congrats! No need to repeat myself about the knife as you already know I love it. Your work has a unique feel to it. With as many custom makers as there are today, that's quite a feat and obviously the judges at the show recognized that. Keep it up.

Gary
